They will have the answers for you.

That is usually good advice but from my limited experience down here, it is tough to get straight answers.

I contacted the Orlando Diocese. They did not give me any specifics - much like getting any information from the developer.

I was hoping that insiders - people on church councils, planning boards, etc. - might have the answers.

The population in the south is continuing to grow. Since that time, they have built Cason Hammock, St. Johns, Richmond, and Deluna, and they are starting to build Newell and are working on Middleton and Eastport.

In the mean time you could check out Live Oaks Community Church (Live Oaks Community Church | Live Oaks Community Church) They meet in a building at the south side of the intersection of SR44 and Buena Vista.

Probably the closest church to you.

Just went to mass in old parish in Missouri. Couldn’t hear the priest due to all the young baby’s crying.

Some might say the Bible and God's word are crap that is made up. So what's the difference?

Talking about Cath's & Luth's and other Christians...............not talking about non-believers.

Significantly different.

My Catholic friends sometimes seem a little mystified by us Protestants…….

I always tell them to just look at the root of the word ‘Protestant’ and that explains a lot because countless variations of Protestant denominations have sprung from Martin Luther’s original ‘protest.’ If someone wants to go to a Protestant church, a fit can be found.

For instance, there are 3 different kinds of Lutheran churches — that I know of — might be more.

Hope Lutheran is ELCA. The ELCA allows women to be ordained as pastors. (gasp. ) The ELCA invites all Christians to communion.

The Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Synod do not allow women as pastors — and they used to have closed communion — but I don’t know if they still do. My guess is probably.

But if you are Lutheran, you already know this stuff — and all the other stuff those differences entail.

If looking for a Protestant denomination that falls nicely between ELCA Lutheran and Catholic, someone searching might find Episcopalian to be a good match.

Episcopalians are sometimes known kiddingly as “Catholic Light” or “Diet Catholic.” I have heard it said that Episcopalians get all of the pageantry with none of the guilt.” Works for me.

I’m Byzantine Catholic - Christ Lutheran Church was kind enough to offer up space at their facility for our Villages Mission. We’re just a small congregation but we were thankful for their offer and have our liturgies (mass) there every Saturday….

Just because someone hands you a glass of poison doesn’t mean you have to drink it . Thankfully God has raised us believers above negative and disrespectful comments about our religious beliefs. Don’t you just love that .
